Hey I’am new to this site and Warhammer Fantasy and I was wondering if I could get some help for my DE Army List

Noble
Crimson Death
Heavy Armor
Sea Dragon Cloak
(With the Warriors)

5 Dark Riders
RxB
120pts

15 Warriors/w Spears
Shields
FC
145pts

10 Corsairs
Champion
110pts

My plan is to use the Warriors and Corsairs like an Empire detachment Warriors forming the main block with the Corsairs as flankers. The Dark Rider will Weaking the enemy and then close in to the kill. At 500pts most armies will have little or no magic so if I expand I will include some magic later.

First off,welcome to the Warhammer palace and enjoy your stay.If you have any problems at all ask someone, were only too happy to help you. ^_^

Hmm.it seems a solid list, but Id drop the crimson death and grab something else to get a musician for your Dark riders. Also, you could drop the champion on the warriors so then you can get something like a unit of shades, a chariot, or maybe a second unit of dark riders. :)

I would say keep the Crimson Death myself, because it's always nice to have something with a higher strength that can be used as the proverbial can opener should you opponent bring something to the table with a high armour save (like an opposing general). With such a small list, you can only incorperate so much, and I think you achieve a pretty good balance.

Thanks I will just add a musician to the Dark Riders

O.K,thats good.Play a few games with hem and try and discover where your army is failing, like the weak link in the army is,then change it for something that may help you more.

First off I don't see the point in giving shooting dark riders musicians, they won't do much and are just extra points. As for the list I'd drop the musician and the champ from the warriors, this gives you a nice +4 combat res unit which can hold. I'd then try and add another corsair to the unit and put the noble in them so they can hit harder as you won't always be able to use them as a detachment.

:thumb: looks like a solid list, but i agree with cal on this one :thumb:

Try to beef up either the Dark Elf unit and drop the Corsairs or vice versa. make them about 20 strong. Keep the crimson death its invaluble against heavily armoured foes

This list is Excellent, There's no mistakes in it really,apart from ross' comment

Dark Lord Joe - June 7, 2005 06:32 PM (GMT)
what was wrong with ross' comment? i seemed sound advice to me.

Raegek - June 12, 2005 09:44 AM (GMT)
nothing was wrong with it.It's just that was the thing he could improve on.

Dark Lord Joe - June 13, 2005 07:48 PM (GMT)
